⚠️ ATTENTION
Controller accounts are being deprecated. While existing ones can still be used for now, creating new controller accounts is no longer possible.
It is recommended to set your stash account as its own controller using the Polkadot-JS UI. Follow the instructions in the link below to learn how:

If you want to manage your staking from a different account, you can create a staking proxy, which preserves the same functionality and adds more flexibility.
